Eaton Expands Its PTO and Clutch Lines
During the recent HDAW exhibition, Eaton has
revealed the details on the expansion of its clutch and PTO portfolios. Advantage
Automated Series clutches and two new Bezares PTO solutions will find
application in a variety of vehicles and transmissions available on the North
American (NA) market. These new solutions prove the company’s intention to
provide its American customers with efficient solutions.
The new clutches can be installed in the most common automated gearboxes mostly utilized in NA, including the following:
These robust clutches can handle the unique needs of automated gear shifting units, which find application on more than 75 % of new heavy-duty trucks sold in NA. Designs of these clutches include the following elements: a clutch bracket with a hardened steel pivot ring, which better withstands higher loads, and bigger spring fingers for better wear-resistance when compared to analogs currently available on the automotive market.

The 95X and 120X Series PTOs intended for Endurant and DT12 units respectively come with aluminum casings to combine heavy-duty strength with light weight. These PTOs are expected to amend installation clearance on the vehicle. One year ago, Eaton reported that one of its division had an agreement with Bezares SA to become its NA authorized distributor for auxiliary hydraulic equipment.
The Bezares 95X series is notable for its lightweight and space-saving design. It features pneumatic shifting and is available with 3 various internal ratios. The offset structure improves the position of a mounted pump to exclude any interference with other vehicle components. The two-gear 120X series PTO fits models DT-12 transmission models. Thanks to its internal ratios, the 120X PTO series connects to the auxiliary systems of the DT12 unit and provides 4 various output variants. The PTO mechanism casing is supposed to improve clearance and simplify the process of installation. Eaton plans to add the Bezares products to its online Order Center, which includes a lot of features helping its customers to find and buy the company’s products.
